business is booming and the heavy or
ders in the ship yarf ls and sE shops give
employment to thousands of worKpen.
And the money off these laborers finds
its way into the III of the merchants for
the necessares Of life. 1t is surprising the
number Of farm ers that attend market.
And they seem tdi do fairly well selling
their produce Of all kinds. Not only do
they come here find sell butter, eggs, and
a general assortment Of farm truck, but
they do their shopping right with our
merchants. Boy all their groceries, dry
goods, etc. Tlgis must have tendency
to make the lountry store-keepers feel
blue. But again, the city merchant

natural consequence reap fairly rich

The most stirring event with us is the
investigation ofthe High School troubles.
These investigations are being held in
the rooms ofthe Board of Education, and
it is needless to say that there is no
scarcity of spectators. Our daily papers
find in this investigation any amount of
newspaper talk, and it is highly interest
ing to the average reader. Prof. Ora
ham is having very hot shot thrown at
him from all sides. lie cody surveys
the scenes around him, and when an OPP
portunity presents itself, makes some
sharp interrogatories of those who testify
against him. lie questioned Superin-
tendent Harlan pretty warmly on We'd |
nesday night on the qualifications of
teachers in high schools TO teach the |
higher branches." Many opinions are
expressed pro and con in relation 10
Prof Grah,ms guilt or innocence to the |
charges brought against him by his as
sistants, Misses Pyleand Hare. Natural
ly, these ldies who passed nearly a quar-
ter of u century in the school room, have
many wMh supporters, who implicitly
believe they are in the right, while Prof.
Graham, las no small following. 1t lisa
very unfortunate affair all through. From
what ltt, evidence heard by your cor
responded it would seem that great
big scenchas been made for nothing
There cal be no mistake about there be-
ing a vast amount of jealousy on the part
of the two lady teachers. OF course this
being fact, the Principal has no easy
road b travel. There is a little saying
abouth woman scorned," etc, but we
will pt reproduce it here. They can in
vcstip from now until doom's day, and
no nhtter what conclusion is reached,
the lFincipal and the assistants will not
co-oIerate heartily at all. The boys are
for Graham as n init, and they positive
ly declare him Innocent.

railroad, in the office of the latter Tues

the ability of the Sioux City & Pacific rail-
road, division of the Northwestern to pay
its debt to the government when that debt
fell due Mr. Hughitt thought the debt not
being dues the question was not pertinent,
but stated that the road could not pay it
now; that the stockholders had not considered
the question, and did not know what they
could do eight years hence. Mr.. Littler
asked for the rebate records, lists of rates,
statements of earnings, ETC., to assist in the
inquiry, which will probably continue until

The Railways Manage to Scoop All the
Water-some Innocent Purchasers"
WASHINGTON CITY, Sept 1.-Survsyaz
General Hise, of Arizona, in his annual re
port, says it looks as though the surveyed q
large block of land for the Atlantic & Pa
eific railway had been done with fraudulent
purpose by the deputy surveyors He says;
st has been notoriously commented upon by
settlers on this tract during the past year
that watering places are almost entirely on
the railroad sections If this is the case,
they were placed there by system of illegal
contraction or expansion by the deputies.
Many of these lands have been sold or con-
tracted for by the railroad authorities, SC
that a large share of them are now held by
what the law would class as innocent pur-
chasers, when in fact if the skin was scratched
it would probably be found that stockholders
directors. or their special friends were under
the puncture. Large cattle companies are
now the possessors of these lands, including
government lands.
